Sherdog.com first reported that Narvaez had signed with the UFC and
withdrawn from a planned Legacy Fighting Championship middleweight
title bid against Bubba Bush,
and TXMMA.com reported the Cummins matchup on Thursday. The
fighters subsequently confirmed the matchup via Twitter, though the
UFC has yet to officially announce the bout.

Narvaez, 30, has won six straight fights to begin his pro career,
finishing his first five opponents via knockout or submission. “The
Silverback” made his Legacy FC debut last September, scoring a
split decision win over Hayward
Charles at LFC 23.

Previously a standout wrestler at Penn State, Cummins began his MMA
stint with four consecutive victories before making his Octagon
debut on short notice against Daniel
Cormier. That UFC 170 encounter resulted in a quick finish for
“DC,” as the American Kickboxing Academy product dispatched Cummins
in just 79 seconds.
